Extending over 650 sqm, villa Solace is one of the largest houses in the Desert Mountain residential complex in the Sonoran desert in Arizona. Having undergone a complete restyling of its interior spaces by the prestigious JSF Design Inc. studio, this private dwelling ‘expresses itself’ through gentle curves and now with tones that are in harmony with its surroundings. The decision to use a range of natural stones by Antolini® gives an individual feel to each space that is in total symbiosis with the fascinating gradations of colour offered by the exterior. The colours of the earth and native vegetation, the shades of browns, whites, golds and soft greys are thus also found inside the house thanks to meticulous attention given to detail by Antolini, to the material carefully selected in terms of its veining and cut and close collaboration with the team.
Italian Paonazzo marble gives depth and character to the large kitchen characterising the walls and surfaces with gold-coloured veining, accentuated by coordinated taps in antiqued brass. The central island is a triumph, clad in four distinct slabs that the master craftsmanship of Antolini makes appear a single continuous surface. A combination that creates a dialogue with the outdoor area dedicated to open-air cooking and made from Cristallo Lumix, a natural quartz that on account of its hardness is well-suited to exterior applications. In the main bathroom, soft tones of grey stand out, made more vibrant by the dark veins that dominate the vanity top and the walls of the generous shower area.
However it is the fireplace in the main bedroom that is the true masterpiece, with its open-pore pattern that echoes the role of the hearth, and the soft brown tones crossed by delicate white veins of the Striato Tortora marble with meticulous selection given to the cut and the subsequent matching of the slabs in such a way as to showcase the magnificent details.
